Dental implants: a guide

Dental implants are a great option for patients with one, some, or even all of their natural teeth missing. At Aura Dental in North London we offer a number of implant treatments, all designed to give you back not just your confidence to smile, but also the complete functionality of a jaw full of healthy teeth.

Any dentist will tell you that it is important to replace missing teeth as soon as possible. At Aura Dental in North London, we believe that dental implants are often the best way to do this.

Teeth can be lost for many reasons, including gum disease, tooth decay, accident, and injury. Whatever the reason for your tooth loss, it is always advisable to replace them. If you fail to do so, remaining teeth can become crooked, tilted, and more difficult to keep clean as they shift into any gaps.

Your ability to bite and chew food may be affected, which can make it difficult to get good nutrition and can impact upon your general health. Add to that the fact your speech, your jaw bone density, and of course your confidence to smile can all be affected and you’ll see why replacing missing teeth is so important.

Dental implants in North London

Dental implants have numerous advantages over standard bridgework or dentures. They are the only permanent way your dentist can replace missing teeth, as well as being the most realistic-looking and acting option available.

We place dental implants under either local anaesthetic or sedation at our North London dental practice. Fear and phobia of the dentist is a common cause of tooth loss as people put off seeking routine treatment because they are scared.

At Aura Dental North London we empathise with nervous patients and will work with you to restore health and happiness to your smile. If you’ve lost teeth through fear of the dentist, dental implants placed under sedation can provide a second chance at healthy teeth.

Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots on to which new teeth are attached. At our North London clinic we offer implants with a crown or a bridge.
